Who I am

About me

Always exploring. Radio Frequency Planning & Optimization Engineer with 10+ years in telecom, plus a web developer and software engineer with deep experience in websites and VBA automation.

As a freelance web developer, I build web applications for personal, small, and medium business enterprises — always using the most current technologies. I can develop a customized web app from scratch, front-end to back-end.

For personal projects I rely on WordPress for its broad support and fast deployment, use Laravel for polling and small-business e-commerce apps, and build customized polling apps with Django.
